About Me

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo,
At least I'm flying free.
To those who'd ground me,
Take a message back from me:
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity!
I'm flying high,
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown.
And nobody in, all of Oz.
No Wizard that there is or was.
Is ever gonna bring me down!
I am an artist, digital compositor, animator, nonlinear editor, and teacher.
My Art
My demo reel: .. Latest Stuff:
Your Friendly Neighborhood Mayhem has joined ranks with EMBERSREICH! as an audiovisual artist. And there was much rejoicing.VJ performances:May 17 - Cyberaver June 7 - The War Room @ Spring 4thPossible screening of A Knife of Her Own June 7 in the works as well.
I'm also happily CHILDFREE. I like kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one. I'm just kidding, actually I can't stand the lil' buggers. Seriously not interested in having anything to do with them. Certified by surgery.
I am independent, unrepentant, and willful. I am a redhead and all it entails. My tongue is brutal in its honesty. I have a low tolerance for bullshit and drama. I am attracted to wit and genuis. I think there is nothing uglier than stupid, except perhaps when it is combined with shallow.
"And so I have remained, in cruel pursuit of truth and excellence, an inhumane executioner of the bogus, an abomination to all but those few who have overcome their aversion to truth in order to free whatever is good in them." - Louise Brooks

There are no words for my contempt

Nothing is quite so horrifyingly deserving of contempt as one you offer utter truth to, who gives back lies and cowardice in return.
